Approval Name: Vana Babic Degree: Master of Business Administration Title of Project: An Examination of Vancouver Fashion Week Supervisory Committee: ________________________________________ Dr. Michael Parent Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Faculty of Business Administration ________________________________________ Dr. Neil Abramson Second Reader Associate Professor of International Strategy Faculty of Business Administration Date Approved: ________________________________________ ii Abstract This study proposes a close examination of Vancouver Fashion Week, a biannual event held in Vancouver, showcasing local and international talent. It is one of the many Fashion Weeks held globally. Vancouver Fashion Week can be classified in the tertiary market in terms of coverage and designers showcased. The goal of these fashion shows is to connect buyers, including but not limited to boutiques, department stores and retail shops, with designers. Another goal is to bring media awareness to future trends in fashion. The paper will begin with an introduction to Fashion Weeks around the world and will be followed by an industry analysis. Lastly, there is a close examination of Vancouver Fashion Week (VFW) itself, identification of the weak areas of VFW and recommendations for future shows. Keywords: VFW: Vancouver Fashion Week (Subject of Study); Big Four: refers to the four big Fashion Weeks in the World held in New York, London, Milan and Paris. iii Executive Summary Vancouver Fashion Week was founded by Jamal Abdourahman in 2001. He founded Vancouver Fashion Week, from here on referred to as VFW, after his experience working for Fashion Weeks in Milan Italy, and Paris France. VFW is currently running two shows per year and despite some success the organization faces a myriad of problems unless addressed could jeopardize the future of the organization. Problems with VFW: - Lack of Budget: there is a very small budget for VFW. As a result of this they look for services to be offered for free or in exchange for advertising space. o DJ‟s were hired for free o Set was designed for free o There was no accountant for VFW - Lack of sponsors: there is high sponsor turnover and no big-ticket sponsors that contribute large amounts of cash to the show. This past season the largest sponsor was the BC Cosmetology Association, for $15,000. - Labour is based on volunteers: there are no employees for the organization, and therefore VFW suffers from high turnover and volunteer dissatisfaction. - Reputational effects and stakeholder relations: Includes venues that work with VFW who are dissatisfied with management and the state of the venue after iv completion of events. As a result some people are reluctant to work with VFW. This negative reputation can severely affect the organization. - Transfer of knowledge is non-existent. There are no lists of suppliers, vendors or practices in place. Every new volunteer is given a task but with little guidance. There is a lot of pressure to meet tight deadlines but there is no direction given. Recommendations: - Attracting large scale sponsors for funding of show. An accountant should be hired to keep checks and balances of show expenses and revenue. - Hiring a key team that guides incoming volunteers and knows the core operations of VFW. - Documenting procedures and lists of vendors etc. This should include procedures on contacting sponsors, designers, etc. It should also include templates for all communication from VFW to stakeholders. Lists compiling all previous designers, design agencies, venues, etc should be made available for incoming volunteers. - Working on reputational effects through PR and the key team that handles all relations. v Dedication Personally, a big dedication goes to my mom who was always encouraging of my studies, and for beaming with pride just when I needed her to. Also to my second parents my aunt and uncle (Teta and Tetak) for being there for so many years. Lastly, to my friends who understood that I needed to bail on our plans to do school work, and for taking me out when I wanted to forget about school. vi Acknowledgements This thesis encompasses a year of hard work, and a dream that has been alive for over a decade. I have many people to thank for their support both in my personal life and in academia. First the academics: thanks to my Professor Michael Parent, for to the point feedback, a good sense of humour and for humouring me while I was making him read about fashion. To the Associate Dean Bukszar for being an inspiration to get into the MBA program in the first place. Thanks to Lisa Siew for being the first to give me the good news that I got in to the program, and being a great help along the way. Klara Sinclair has been a wonderful person to lean on and ask career advice from, and Michelle helped in making a great resume. Also a big thank you to my professors this year I have learned a lot from all of you. vii Table of Contents Approval .......................................................................................................................................... ii Abstract .......................................................................................................................................... iii Executive Summary ........................................................................................................................ iv Dedication ....................................................................................................................................... vi Acknowledgements ....................................................................................................................... vii Table of Contents ......................................................................................................................... viii List of Figures .................................................................................................................................. x List of Tables ................................................................................................................................... xi 1: Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 1 1.1 Global Fashion Weeks, and Vancouver Fashion Week .......................................................... 1 1.2 Purpose and Organization of Paper ......................................................................................... 2 2: Fashion Weeks and Vancouver Fashion Week ........................................................................ 4 2.1 History of Fashion Weeks ....................................................................................................... 4 2.2 Goals and Successes of Fashion Weeks .................................................................................. 8 2.3 Vancouver Fashion Week ..................................................................................................... 14 2.3.1 History ...................................................................................................................... 14 2.3.2 Raison d‟être ............................................................................................................ 20 2.3.3 Organizational Structure .......................................................................................... 20 2.3.4 Stakeholders ............................................................................................................. 21 2.3.5 Participants ............................................................................................................... 26 2.3.6 Financials ................................................................................................................. 26 2.3.7 Current Strategy ....................................................................................................... 27 2.3.8 Product Strategy: ...................................................................................................... 28 2.3.9 Research and Development Expenses ...................................................................... 29 2.3.10 Structure ................................................................................................................... 29 2.3.11 Decision Making ...................................................................................................... 31 2.3.12 Manufacturing .......................................................................................................... 31 2.3.13 Labour ...................................................................................................................... 32 2.3.14 Risk Profile ..............................................................................................................

  • Fashion's Influence on Garment Mass Production
    Fashion’s Influence on Garment Mass Production: Knowledge, Commodities and the Capture of Value Sally Weller A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Strategic Economic Studies Victoria University, Melbourne AUSTRALIA October 2003 ABSTRACT In affluent communities, it is difficult to think about clothing without considering issues of fashion. Yet, in analyses of the garment industries, fashion is rarely considered in detail, and is certainly not analysed as a structuring force over the configuration of garment production industries. Yet through fashion, garments as commodities are complexly embedded in social and cultural processes and in the specificities of place. Although the structures of the global garment production industries have been the subject of numerous studies from a variety of theoretical perspectives, none hitherto have addressed the influence of fashion on the structures and locations of garment production. This thesis begins with the idea that fashion is a complex and influential form of knowledge. It explores the effects of fashion ideas on the global garment system through a case study of the ideas and commodity flows that bring fashions and garments to the Australian market. It traces the interconnections between global knowledge flows and global commodity flows in a manner attuned to the relationships between knowledge, power, industrial organisation and the capture of surplus value from the production system. The analysis highlights how Australia’s position in garment production is framed by its geographical position on the periphery of the fashion world. Fashion knowledge is a complex form of knowledge with four interrelated expressions.

  • Architecting Intellectual Property Protection for the Fashion Industry by Ashlee Froese Gilbert’S LLP
    Fashioning Protection For Canada’s Most Fabulous: Architecting Intellectual Property Protection for the Fashion Industry By Ashlee Froese Gilbert’s LLP 1. Introduction Fashion matriarch Coco Chanel once famously stated that imitation is the highest form of flattery. I wonder if renowned shoe designer Christian Louboutin, who has been embroiled in trade-mark litigation in America and France for the last few years over his red-bottomed shoes, would agree. In the legal world, counterfeiting has long been acknowledged as a serious and costly piranha to the fashion industry. This is not the only hurdle facing the fashion designer. Less recognized yet arguably just as pervasive, fashion design piracy can be devastating to the livelihood of the fashion designer. This legal doctrine, however, has had slow traction in Canada. This paper examines the concept of fashion design piracy and provides strategies on how fashion designers can best protect their fashion designs within the confines of the Canadian intellectual property framework. 2. Canada’s Fashion Industry Canada’s roots are deeply entrenched in the fashion industry. Canada’s fur trade was the leading resource-based export for Canada during its inception, making it a foundation of the burgeoning economy. The fur trade continues to be a significant contributor to the Canadian economy.1 In fact, the Fur Institute of Canada estimates that the fur industry contributes $800 million to the Canadian 2 economy. 1 No animals were harmed during the writing of this paper. 2 Fur Institute of Canada “Canada’s Fur Trade at a Glance” http://www.fur.ca/files/fur_trade_at_a_glance.pdf 2 Perhaps more palatable to animal lovers, Canada’s fashion industry has become more well-rounded.

  • Emerging Consumer Trend in China: “Guochao”
    Emerging Consumer Trend in China: “Guochao” Sol Ahn, CFA, Portfolio Manager March 2021 The rise of homegrown Chinese brands seems to be one of the strongest trends in China. “Guochao” has become a buzzword ever since China’s sportswear brand Li Ning’s successful debut at New York fashion week in 2018. Its “Wudao( 悟道)” collection is embedded with traditional Chinese culture, the four big Chinese characters 中國李寧, or China Li Ning in English, are believed to be a symbol of cultural confidence which has its roots in China’s rapid rise over the past few decades. Young Chinese consumers have grown up in a period of strong economic growth and thus are very proud of their country. Their parent’s generation preferred foreign brands and products over local brands with a general perception that foreign products were of better quality. Today, this perception has changed, and many young consumers feel no difference whether it is local or foreign and prefer whichever brand is trendier. Additionally, the escalating tensions between China and the US have accelerated domestic substitution as strengthening patriotism pushes more Chinese people to shop local brands. Lastly, booming e-commerce platforms in China play an essential role in the process. A digital world makes domestic brands’ penetration easier and faster. Key opinion leaders rely on Alibaba’s Taobao platform, Tiktok, and Kuaishou to promote and sell goods through live streaming. Domestic brands are adopting digital trends faster than their foreign competitors. We believe this “Guochao” trend is likely to last as long as domestic brands continue to adapt to consumer preferences and improve their products accordingly.
